Electrical conduit

This may and may not be of any interest but I'll put in on the table just in case.
Like some here I'm not keen on any permanent changes to the car that can't be reversed and the most common problem for me is additional wiring. I've added F & R dash cam and recently a reversing cam which all live up around the rear view mirror. These aren't the issue by the way, just to illustrate. My trim is exceedingly tight compared with the old allroad which should have been identical, so tucking spare wires behind the trim just isn't on without some major removal and the usual potential for breakage. I have come across some EPDM door seal with an adhesive backing and it has been a great saviour. It comes paired but can be split into single conduits. I can run one, maybe two cables through one channel of the seal and stick it to the windscreen / trim junction and it is to all intents invisible from inside or out. I did try those very small stick on cable clips a year ago but the adhesive showed up as a silver dot on the screen from outside and looked tacky. So, if anyone is looking for an additional cable solution for their armoury, try these, available locally to me in mat black and cream.
